Greetings Betty,
I'm one of those descendents from George and Hannah. Their son James married
Nancy Headon. One of the sons named William married to Nancy Cantrell forms
my linage.
I found the headstones for Richard Turner and Tennessee in a cemetery near
Mayo SC. The other landmark is the Cowpens National Battlefield nearby.
I'll see if I can locate the photographs and send them to you personally.
I'm asking for patience as I'm still recovering from surgery so have little
energy at present.
Jimmie Turner

Unfortunately, we have no Turners (that we know of) left in our line. The
only possibility is from my grandmother's nephew, Sam Turner Jr. (grandson
of John Wesley Calvin Turner), who we think went to Oklahoma. But once he
left Carollton, Ga. I haven't been able to trace him.

Click on the toolbar tab that says "Y-DNA Results." After the chart fully
loads (we have almost 450 people tested now) look for Group 9
(Lavender) and you will see how many we have that are descended from George
and then if you use the toolbar that says "About this Group" and click on
down arrow to plain "Results" you will find the lineage outlines. There are
some contacts there but we have lost some of the best researchers on this
line because of serious health issues and they are no longer able to do
research or do much correspondence.

We know there were at least 3 distinct unrelated groups of Turners early on
in Spartanburg Co. SC. When someone doesn't know which group their line
belongs to there, DNA becomes a way to resolve the issue. If someone is
from a Spartanburg Co. SC Turner line that can't be tied by regular research
to a line there then doing a DNA test is important. When there is any
question, I always suggest someone actually get someone to test from their
Turner group and not assume a relationship. Some of the old research on
these Spartanburg Co. SC Turners is wrong. My own Turners are a Spartanburg
Co. SC line.

Now is a great time for someone who wants to test with our project to do
it. The Y-DNA37 marker test we like all male Turners to do is on sale for
$119 plus $4 s&h. Other tests are also on sale and it ends Dec.
31! Makes a great Christmas gift for a family member who is interested in
genealogy.

Anyone interested please contact me OFF list.
